About Tatweer
SMEs play a critical role in innovation, advancement and sustainable development worldwide. In today’s increasingly globalized world, SMEs around the world have to unprecedentedly compete globally.
Doha Bank was the first bank in Qatar to understand and appreciate the importance of the critical role played by SMEs in the development of the Qatari economy. In view of this, Doha Bank became the first bank to launch ‘Tatweer’, a dedicated SME unit in 2008.
The infrastructure development taking place in Qatar in the form of ports, roads, airports, rail, telecom, other utilities and construction activity requires the support of SME businesses. Doha Bank aims to actively participate in Qatar’s diversification story by encouraging the SME sector.
Doha Bank has already assisted over 1,000 SME customers with credit lines in excess of QAR 1.5 billion to date. We, at Doha Bank are proud that our relationships with SME customers have matured along with the customer’s business and professional growth.
